Hi, I currently have a 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan that my parents handed down to me, I'm currently trying to fix it up since it is a rare AWD model. Aside from a few mechanical problems, my main concern is the sliding door.

The sliding door opens fairly easily. When you go to close it, you need to literally slam it shut with all of your might, otherwise it won't latch properly. I was wondering what I could do to free up the sliding door and make closing it much easier, because I plan to use the van as a friend hauler. Yes, I'm a teenager in high school. I have a bunch of good friends that I enjoy hanging out with and I can fit a few more friends into the van than my 5-seat car.

I heard about applying lubricants to the rollers and the tracks. If this is the best route, what type of lubricant should I use and where/how should I apply it?
